THE HON PETER GARRETT AM MP
MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, HERITAGE AND THE ARTS
TRANSCRIPT
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE PROJECTS
UNDER THE $650 MILLION JOBS FUND
ADELAIDE MOSQUE, ADELAIDE
SATURDAY 10 OCTOBER, 2009
GARRETT: Thanks for coming down to this really important Adelaide City
Mosque this morning as we announce a further round of support for
heritage projects under the Government’s Jobs Fund.
I am really pleased that we are able to recognise the distinctive
contribution that the Islamic community, through this mosque, has
made. This is an important building not only for the community itself
but also for the cultural heritage and history of South Australia.
The Adelaide Mosque was built in 1888, and is the oldest mosque in
Australia.There was a bush built rough " mud Mosque at Marree then
called Hergott Springs a few years earlier built by and for the
Caelleers from the inland district Its original four minarets were
added in 1903.
Muslims from as far away as Broken Hill and Kalgoorlie gathered at
least once a year at the Adelaide Mosque, usually for the Fast of
Ramadan. In 1890 it was reported that 80 Afghans were present to
observe this important festival.
Islam was introduced to Australia in the 1860s with the arrival of the
first cameleers, brought to Australia to handle recently introduced
camel teams. Thomas Elder brought 124 camels and 31 handlers to South
Australia in 1865, establishing a stud at Beltana. The handlers came
to be known as 'Afghans' or 'Syrians' although they were actually from
various countries, including Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.

In the 1920s Austrian Leopold Weiss left his Jewish roots and
converted to Islam and became one of the most important Muslims of the
20th century. He was an advisor to the king’s court in Saudi Arabia
and later translated the Qur’an. He became a co-founder of Pakistan
and finally an ambassador to the United Nations.

* Map: Adelaide 5000
The VERY first international branch has opened of a world-renowned
science research centre, the Royal Institution of Great Britain. and
GUESS why they choose ADELAIDE South Australia , to open a NEW RI ,
after 200 years of only have ONE office its perfectly natural they
chose ADELAIDE for the second office , to all those who examine the
facts with an open mind
The Royal Institution has been a centre for scientific research for
two centuries and will now have a centre in the former Adelaide Stock
Exchange building.
The Duke of Kent performed the official opening.
The centre's inaugural director, Professor Gavin Brown, says it will
TRY to raise awareness of science. sadly most sheeple are to busy
watching football replays to EVER notice anything of REAL importance
"We want to design something which draws upon the more than 200 years'
tradition and success of the Royal Institution in Great Britain but is
adaptive to our time and our place in Australia," he said.
Professor Brown says the centre will feature exhibits and host
scientific debates.
"We've also equipped it with absolute state-of-the-art audio-visual
etcetera so we can beam stuff out from Adelaide to the rest of
Australia or indeed the world.
INDEED it is state of the art conference rooms , beautifully restored
too , centrally located too , now all we need if some funds for the
cutting edge of research in the backrooms where the REAL discoveries
are made , now they the public window to the world has been built , a
few dollars spent funding the workers researching in tin sheds with
dirt floors , who actually bring forth the latest discoveries fo the
media junkies and public can enjoy
the champagne launches
"We're going to arrange to have scientists communicate with the public
direct so we'll stage all of that, we'll make sure that people get a
sense of the excitement of what's going on in science and the risks
and the ethical issues that arise."
Wont be long now till the EXPERTS eventually discover the Turin
Papyrus Gold Mine is actually located in South Australia less than an
hours drive from the new science exchange building

The Turin Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian map, generally considered
the oldest surviving map of topographical interest from the ancient
world ...
